The Center for Military Readiness (CMR) has released a 64-page report analyzing ongoing research by the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) about the effectiveness of integrating women into direct ground combat (DGC) units.

Enterovirus D68: A Call to Arms

Enterovirus D68: A Call to Arms
This column is a public call to arms: it is time anyone with an iota of investigative journalistic integrity, in combination with a team of dedicated epidemiologists, to determine beyond a reasonable doubt whether the current outbreak of Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) – which is killing and paralyzing American children – is directly related to the Obama administration’s decision to allow 66,000 illegal alien children and their families virtually unfettered entry into America.

Obama DOJ Refuses to Release Fast and Furious Docs

Obama DOJ Refuses to Release Fast and Furious Docs
The "most transparent administration in history" is once again revealing the rank hypocrisy of President Obama's assessment. In a motion filed Monday night, lawyers from the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) asked U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson to delay the transfer of documents related to the Fast and Furious gun-running scandal to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, until after her rulings requiring that transfer can be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. If their bid is successful, it could push the appeals process past the Obama administration's time in office. In short, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is trying to run out the clock.

'Freedom X' Takes on CAIR

A lawsuit has been filed in Tennessee by Freedom X, a nonprofit law firm that specializes in First Amendment issues. ACT! for America Knoxville vs. Knox County Schools alleges that Knox County School officials and Superintendent Jim McIntyre canceled an April after-hours presentation at Farragut High School that was to center around Sharia Law and its increasing acceptance in the United States due to complaints from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

Lois Lerner's Vendetta

House Republicans have released a Lois Lerner email exchange from November 2012 that "clearly demonstrates why Ms. Lerner not only targeted conservatives, but denied such groups their rights to due process and equal protection under the law," wrote House Ways and Means Committee Chair Dave Camp (R-MI) in a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.
